iFlight Force IF2207 2700kv

Tested KV:2550kv

Stator W:22mm
Stator H:7mm
Recently very high KV large stator 4S targeted motors seem to be showing up everywhere, and this new motor from iFlight is conitinuing the trend. I have tested an earlier motor from iFlight in the iPower series, but the new iForce series of motors seems to be aimed a higher performance and more feature-rich target. The design of the bell has been totally re-thought to some really nice effect, and all the modern features like a 4mm internal hollow steel shaft, tight air gaps, thicker and stronger magnets, and low guage single wire windings. The bell is retained by a c-clip rather than a screw, but depending on the pilot that may be either a bonus or a loss.  The build quality, machining, and tolerances are all solid.  My only real complaint is the weight, with the 2207 coming in a bit on heavy side at 35g.  

Results

This motor is a space filled by some monsters, such as the BeeRotor ZOE Z2207 2780kv, Emax RS2306 2750kv, XFoot 2600kv, and the Cobra Champion 2207 2600kv.  The weight class puts it directly against some of those insane performers, where the BeeRotor has a few gram weight advantage.  That being said, the performance on this motor is extremely solid, easily clearing 1400g on midrange 5" props like the HQ 5x4x3 and Cyclone 5045 and 1500g on the heavier 5" props like the Cyclone 5046 and ButterCutters.  The performance here falls a bit behind the other bohemoths in the field, showing more on par with some of the strong 2206 motors on the market, but it also draws a bit less current than most of the other 2207s, only maxing out at about 38A peak under static load.  Over all this motor is a very solid offering in the larger stator space, though it is entereing a market with difficult competition. Hopefully there will be some other lower KV options available for broader applications.
